Run Down

The course is very run down and just not taken care of. Will most likely not play here again and check out other local options instead. We were left disappointed.

Upgrade

There's alot of work that needs to be done in order to return this course to its former glory. They are trying as the greens show by being real bumpy and sandy. I love the layout here and the scenery. I'll wait and see what will become of this course.

Conditions have improved over the past 2 months. The condition of green on the first hole has always been problematic but the next 16 greens were much better. The layout is worth the trip.

Needs more love

Course has a great layout and great potential - however it’s got a lot of burn from tee box to green. Kids play free so that lessened the blow of the conditions but it won’t have a replay again for me.

Not For Me

Pace of play was terrible. I left after 11 holes. The group ahead of me was a foursome with three sets of clubs. What is the deal that. Greens need a lot of work.

Needs work

It’s a very nice layout. Enough challenge without being silly. Most of the greens are nice but a handful are almost unplayable including the first hole. A couple others are not even worth putting on Red flags usually mean front pin position. Blue for the back. Not here, very confusing!! Staff friendly and professional from the pro shop to cart guy and bartender. nice electric carts(no GPS) Get the greens and fairways fixed up and maybe I’ll be back. Like it is? Nope!!

Conditions

Extremely poor grounds' conditions. Lots of areas were really soft/mushy and extremely muddy on the fairways, on the rough, and even on some greens. A lot of the greens had some major sand patches, it felt as if the greens had sand-traps, and also lots of roughness and patches of grass.elevated from the normal grassy green. Lots of holes on the grounds and around many of the greens. I have loved playing Northdale Golf Course since day one I tried it, but I must say whoever is managing the course is doing an extremely poor job at it and is going to cause Northdale GC to loose a lot of its guests/patrons/members!

Not a nice place

This was the second worst course I’ve ever played. It was in terrible condition, and they still want a prime money to play there.
